Ugh, wasn't the Awakening System supposed to make me the main character?

Tsk! Okay, I take back what I just said.

It seems I'm in some danger being held by Chiyane right now. If she gets up and finds me still in her arms, I might be in trouble.

Thinking of this, I immediately tried to break free from Qianyin's hands, but as soon as I exerted force, she mumbled in her sleep and grabbed me tightly again.

"Don't go! Come back! If you dare to leave..."

Tsk, let me go, you bastard! Stop threatening me in your dreams!

The more Chizuru acted like this, the more dangerous I felt she was, and the more I felt it was necessary to break free from her embrace.

But the more I tried to break free, the tighter Chizuru held me.

"So let me go, you bastard!"

"Ugh... okay... I can't catch it anymore..."

As if she had heard what I said, Chizuru slowly released her grip.

When I was suddenly released, I even rolled forward half a circle before stopping.

Hmph! All you do is cause trouble! You even cause trouble in your dreams!

However... I don't know why, but I felt that Chizuru seemed a little sad when she said that.

But what could possibly make that pervert sad?

Pshaw, he's definitely trying to trick me into coming closer so he can hug me or something!

Now that I've finally broken free, I'm not going to go near them!

Just as I thought that, Chiyomi's voice came again, "I... let go, there's nothing left... nothing at all... Waaah..."

For some reason, as she spoke, her voice seemed to tremble with a hint of sobbing, and she followed it with a soft sob.

Seeing Chizuru like this, I don't know why, but I had a strange feeling of returning to before my rebirth, as if I had met the very first Chizuru...

Pshaw! They're definitely trying to lure me there, I'm not going...

Ugh, this is so annoying! He's clearly a pervert, why is he crying?

Even though I knew that Chizuru was most likely lying to me, a strong sense of irritation welled up inside me, urging me to do something.

So I rolled half a circle again and returned to Chiyomi's arms.

She didn't do anything to me. It seems I was really dreaming, and it wasn't a good dream...

Should we wake her up now?

She seemed to have dreamt about something very sad...

She's clearly a pervert, but seeing her like this makes my heart ache; it's so painful.

Why am I sad because she is sad?

Am I really going to care about this pervert?

After some thought, I don't know if the answer is yes, but I seem to know for sure it's definitely not no...

He's clearly... clearly just a pervert whose mind is full of lewd thoughts!

If she's having a nightmare, would it be better to wake her up now?

But if I wake him up, given his twisted personality, he'll probably use that as an excuse to do something to me...

But looking at her now, I...

Ugh, this is so annoying!!!

Forget it, let's wake her up!

Let her do whatever she wants to me, it's happened so many times already, one more time won't make a difference!

"Get up, you idiot! Still sleeping? Even a pig can sleep as long as you!"

I shouted, while gently kicking her leg with my little feet.

Soon, Chiyomi slowly opened her eyes.

Soon, she noticed that I was still in her arms, and for some reason, she suddenly tightened her grip on me, holding me even closer.

But for some reason, I have a feeling that she won't do anything to me this time.

Even so, it still makes me feel a little uncomfortable!

"Ouch, be gentle! I can't breathe!"

Qianyin didn't say anything, but silently loosened her grip on me, which allowed me to catch my breath a little.

I looked at her and puffed out my cheeks in displeasure.

"Hmm, what did you dream about? You were crying and sobbing..."

Qianyin didn't say anything, but hugged me and closed her eyes.

Seeing this, I felt even more annoyed.

"Tsk, what did you dream about? Don't just stay silent."

She still didn't say anything, which made me even more concerned and anxious.

"What did you dream about? Tell me quickly!"

This time, Chizuru opened her eyes, looked at me and responded, but did not answer my question.

"Don't say anything, just let me hold you like this for a while. I'll tell you later."

After saying that, Qianyin closed her eyes again and hugged me.

Oh well, let her hug me for a while if she wants.

Anyway, it's still early, so there's no need to rush to finish washing up and go to work.

Besides, even if it's urgent, taking care of this idiot's feelings is more important... not at all!

"Okay, tell me later. Humph, I only let you carry me because I wasn't in a rush!"

Chiyomi nodded, then rested her head on my shoulder.

Oh well, let her be. She probably had a really sad dream.

As a harem king, and someone who will become the male protagonist of doujinshi in the future, I know what to do here.

Let's comfort her properly after she calms down...

(PS: I overslept, and then I tried to install all sorts of small apps on my new phone. It wouldn't let me ignore the risks and continue installing. It took me ages to figure it out...)

116. Listening and comforting

In the early morning, as the sun slowly rises, the first rays of sunlight stream in through the window from the other side of the sky, illuminating the entire room with their soft glow.

At that moment, Qianyin and I sat on the bed, quietly leaning against each other.

Looking at her slightly pitiful face, I reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Sigh, really. She was so passionate last night, but now she's crying her eyes out and sitting next to me like a little girl.

However, I didn't say this out loud. In my opinion, the most urgent thing is to find a way to make Qianyin not sad.

After a long silence, I felt the time was right and finally spoke to comfort Qianyin.

"Alright, you should be feeling better by now, right? Whatever scary things you dreamed about, it's all in the past now, you're awake."

Qianyin looked at me; her emotions had stabilized considerably by now, and she nodded at me.

"You know what? I just had a dream."

"I know, but don't know too much. Your sleep-talking is incredibly loud."

"So, what did you dream about that made you cry like this after waking up?"

I asked out of curiosity, because in my opinion, most nightmares are more frightening than anything else.

"Do you want to hear it?" Qianyin looked at me, her eyes serious.

"think."

After all, it's important to know what she dreamed about in order to comfort her. Also, I'm very curious about what she dreamed about that made her like this.

"Ah."

Qianyin closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then spoke softly.

"Just now, I had a very strange dream. I dreamed that after Mo Yu and I returned to the hotel after watching the light show, we suddenly disappeared."

"I disappeared, and then what?" I continued to ask.

Actually, it's possible that I ran away last night. I did have that thought at the time, but I gave up in the end.

"Then, I didn't pay attention to it at the time. I just thought I would use this as an excuse to punish you properly the next day, and then I washed up and went to bed."

"That's nothing, what's next?"

"Then when I got to school the next day, I found out that you had taken leave. I felt a little uncomfortable, but I didn't go to find you. I thought I would punish you properly with that excuse when you came to school."
